Abstract:
Objective: This research carried out the native assessment to the Montreal Battery of Musical Evaluation, including MBEA and Musical emotion test. Methods: 60 normals were tested by MBEA (including 30 university students). Also 40 students were tested by musical emotion recognition battery. The correct rates were recorded and compared with western normals’data. Results: There were significant differences in pitch judgments and musical emotion recognition be- tween Chinese and Westerners, while rhythm perception and memory of music did not have significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Culture difference mainly influences the musical pitch perception in brain but rhythm. Chinese have its own understanding of western musical excerpts. Although MBEA is wildly accepted abroad, native analogy testing tool is acquired.
